yea
Times for how fast you need to get there to be on par with whatever speedrunning you’re doing
the idea is that you can have the segments you do timed separately
Such as items places and things
ohh, like "i should be here at this time"?
Yeah
yea
i only have the ||greenpath vessel fragment (obtain)|| as stuff that has the area in name
just use ||hornet||
tag fail

ill just have ||dash||
It’s one of these
i sent you a dm btw
i wanna get into it
if i buy ||grimms troupe pack|| while playing on hollow knight on family sharing from other friend do i get the pack in the game
I would go ask #speedrunning
if thats what ur asking
oh ok
ok thx
so even if im playing on family sharing hk i still got grimm
everything
Yup
gl on ur journy
including ||quick slash|| which is amazing
bro has a banger build
ima buy a ||notch|| to equip the ||quick slash||
yes i have 1 empty
oh ok
ill get the ||grimm charm|| then buy 2 other ||charms|| so then i can get from that lady a ||notch||
if u want some nerd stats ||quick slash|| gives more ||soul per second|| than ||soulcatcher|| ||soulcatcher +25% soul per strike while quickslash gives ~39% shorter cooldown~39%||
||So you get more soul and deal more damage ||
yup
Yep
what ur supposed to use math for irl
Anything
You just have to know when to use them
i meant it as tht is how ur supposed to use it
||Steady body + quickslash|| == peak
Soul catcher gives a bit more than what’s implied here, it’s +3 per hit
Agreed
More like a 26-28% improvement
||The Nail acquires Soul for the Soul Vessels at a reduced rate, only providing 6 Soul per hit. Soul Catcher increases this to 8 Soul.||
thats my source
Normal nail bits give 11 soul
hollow knight wiki tweaking
Soul catcher adds 3 soul gain to regular nail hits
For a total of 14 soul per hit
it said for ||soul vessels||
||The important part is in the vessels||
Also use spoiler tags
||Steady body|| dramatically increases dps against any boss that takes knockback, or even just moves away from you occasionally. Holding forward is insufficient to swing at max speed with ||quick slash||. There's a reason every TAS uses it where ||charms|| are allowed
For charm names
frr i love ||quickslash||
||QuickSlash|| used to be even better
no ||steady body = no quickslash||
ehh ||quickslash later so u have steady body||
In early patches it reduced nail cooldown even more and only costed ||2 notches||.
they passed the ||notch to flukenest lol||
Alright so I know upgrading the nail scales with some of the bosses, but does fixing it change anything?
||flukenest weirdly rated|| you hate it or you love it
spoiler
no
no as in
the health still scales
aw
any way i can go back up
but thx
||Flukenest|| was also ||2 notches|| before the ||Lifeblood|| update, and did more damage per ||fluke||
there is no ||transport you can buy||
||isnt there one up on top near the dream boss||
||fixing the nail is still accepted as upgrading the nail||
There is a shortcut back
can u tell me pls
Go left
that only unlockable after ||all stations|| or a really good pogo
And jump when you can no longer go the left
while in ||king pass right||
oh ok
Hi I just saw a video called tips for beginners and they said I shouldnt ||kill dreamer||, I was wondering why like I was supposed to do that to continue making progress to the end of the game right ?
to progress yes
but something happens
that is really annoying
Oh wait...
life saver ty @round kayak
so i would save them for later
||The infection|| ?
yep
yes
I totally forgot
it hurts
oh well thats fine I guess
sm
||best charms to beat nosk with speed, i can't do anything if he is gonna be spamming ceeling attack||
You could swap ||quick focus out for dream wielder and long nail or long nail and wayward compass||
yes
||compass? 😭why not grubsong||
Burn the unaffiliated
i was using ||spell twister and grubsong|| but i died, so this is a new try with new charms
x100 dmgg
insead of ||quick||
idc use || wayward||

||id use this, replace soul catcher with long nail, also if youre having trouble dodging, try to stay in one spot for the most part and right next to the elevated platform some of his dashes just dont hit you||
what should i fight next
||mantis lords theyre fun||
||strength, shaman, twister||
||i just beat gorb why was he so easy||
||i'm just having troubles finding where he's gonna jump after the ceeleng attack, skill issue i guess||
most odd ||hog ive ever seen||
hes just an easy boss
he lands where his last atk landed
i think
i love ||grimm||
i havent done nosk for ages
i could tell
try ||massive moss charger radiant its really hard to do||
gon be impossible
as a note, yesterday i was trying itemless (||nail 0 only, no spells, movement upgrades, etc.||) and while it was the first one i did i got annoyed because i kept messing up and it took forever ((||850 HP -> 170 nail 0 hits needed||))
(also, if you're really struggling on it normally for any reason, ||elegy|| is the safest way to trivialize it)
Is ||itemless|| harder than ||R5AB||? Is it just because of the bosses that ||spawn things||?
I think he lands close to wherever you were a couple of moments before he lands. Just keep moving, and give yourself enough space to stand in a gap between the ||acid||
probably depends on what specifically is being referred to but i would assume generally no for most things. in the case of bosses that ||spawn things|| those probably yes. (||ignoring broken vessel+ ofc, the main offenders are like collector, flukemarm, and zote. i haven't completed any of them itemless, though i did overworld collector with nail0 + white spells + all movement.||)
((i have not done ||R5AB|| to personally compare though))
oh yes, there's a few other bosses that have RNG elements to them from what i've heard (including ||soul tyrant phase 2's offset can be undodgable sometimes||), and then there's like ||traitor lord|| (i just allowed ||shade cloak for the one attack||)
||Flukemarm|| actually looks the hardest imo. How are you supposed deal with stuff like ||Traitor Lord's wall||?
got him, thank to all of you
personally? i didn't. actual strats i've seen? ||damage tank as it's about to do it to take 1 damage rather than 2, then go for a heal with a heal tech that exists||.
||the only problematic part was not the landing cause i figured it out, it was avoiding the creep in the floor, most of my hits were trying to avoid the creep then dashing into him||
there's a certain person that exists that's done a lot on itemess challenges, i'll pull up a reference
||teano||? I saw titles but never watched much
||i was blessed by the geo gods||
yeah
if you want actual high level strats you can pull them up on their channel. then again, there's some things they do that i can't interpret just watching, like ||how to reliably dodge lost kin when it jumps directly at you||.
Does anyone have any tips on beating ||watcher knight||? Kinda new to hollow knight lmao
?tag spoilers
🔹 Ensure Discord’s spoiler tagging is used around spoilers (People, Places, and Things should be spoiler tagged!! if you are confused, please see the pins for what is allowed ).
We do this to be considerate of multiple conversations taking place. Two vertical bars on either side of text will tag it as a spoiler - ||This is a spoiler.|| > ||This is a spoiler.|| Alternatively, adding /spoiler at the start of a message will tag it.
🔹 If you have sent an untagged message, you must either edit it to include spoiler tags or delete it.
Oop, srry
what should i do next? ||massive moss charger|| took me 6 hours
||markoth|| ((this is a joke))
Oh yeah, it's easy to forget how much I rely on ||dash|| to dodge things
ok i hope its gonna be fun 🫃
i wonder if there was anything you found useful originally ... it would be a shame if it was missing...
as a random note, after getting used to ||nkg||, going back to get ||ascended grimm|| was certainly something ... the spacing is different on the ||swipe into fireball jump, with regular grimm stopping short, so it messed with a pogo strat i had started employing at nkg||
fr
||Hornet Protector, False Knight, Crystal and Enraged Guardian|| should all be doable relatively fast
ok
in my first run, ||crystal guardian|| was the first one i actually did ||radiant||
my first was ||nkg||
if you want even more suffering, ||oblobbles||
You can probably figure out most of the consistent bosses if you like ||nkg||. It's the rng ones that'll take some time.
i love consistent bosses
When you're attacking one, keep one eye on the other one. ||Ddark|| if it looks like you're about to get trapped.
Same, the rng ones are so annoying
rng bosses can be learned as well, takes much longer though because you wind up having to memorize responses to many more possible situations
how do i change my file to get the grim troupe back a friend told me that it would be fine if i banish them since i get something from it and i can go back to them and do everything for grim as normal
well, technically, but its not in the game
also spoiler like half of that
nope, you can ||savedit|| tho
there is awebsite that helps you with the format
ill dm, i dont want ppl to start using that, so wont put it here
alright ty!
||what is this, can I do anything else beside nail jumping on it ?||
No
Nothing

i mean you can ||fire a spell at it|| for a special animation, that's about it
The fat one are quite annoying
That exact place no, but ||deepnest has a lot of stuff||
alright I try it out
Wait a special what?
He easily gets defeated by simply waiting
||speaking of stuff, im looking for the "pale ore" ?||
I get that you could just blast him and hit him once and run
it just take a lot of time for beginners
animation. basically a visual thing
You can pogo him to death if you have enough space above
Oh yea that too
guys i found a ||fountain in ancient basin and i can drop geo into it, is it gonna waste my geo and i'll have to get all that back? because i really don't want to do that if that's what's gonna happen||
consider it an investment. a significant investment.
||Vessel shard for 3000 geo||
or you could reveal that outright, that works too i guess
i don't even have enough
i just defeated ||nkg|| on ascended, took 4-5 tries
okay so one question... it's not anything asking for tips... who thought a ||fat blob flying is a good idea for an enemy||
||I saw this guy and all he did was bit me||
Now go for rad
He's not an enemy, fat boi just wants to live
well i mean a living thing overall
Question, ||Can I get into The Abyss before beating the game?||
yes
All claims to the evolution of bugs
i heard you can ||pogo|| off your ||abyss shriek|| how do you do that
Idk why do you need this, it's a very hard trick
for fun
Ok, ||i|||| ||||d||||u||||n||||n||||o|||| ||||
||
never done it before, iirc it's ||shriek, quick wings, pogo, repeat as needed||
whoever has designed the map has done a great job, ||a freshly discovered area leading to a new part city of tears is absolute cinema||
😂 wait you doing this cuase you remember what i did ?
No it's my favorite double spoilers
any ||charm build|| for ||P5||?
compass is enough
dang
also dont forget gathering swarm
||Unbreakable strength, shamans stone, quick slash, NMG and dream wielder but switch to unbreakable heart after NKG||
||Grubsong, sharp shadow, mark of pride, unbreakable strength and health|| looks like a great build for me
also ||dreamwielder||
what's ||nkg||
But ||void heart|| should be enough for you
||Nightmare King Grimm||
wait i'm idiot not ||nkg|| ||nmg||
im just happy i defeated ||pv|| and ||nkg|| on ascended today
||Nail Masters Glory||
ah i don't use ||nail arts||
Well for some fights you should
||nail arts|| are useful?!
I used this build on entire ||p5|| without changes
||why not switch to quick focus after beating nkg||
||swap out shaman stone||
||not enough notchs||
No.
That’s legitimately the worst idea I’ve seen here
Why do you need switches, guys? 
||sob||
||Abs rad|| isn't that bad)
i'm using ||unbreakable strenght shaman quickslash steadybody and dream wielder||
Cool
Don’t use ||steady body use like grub song or something better||
You can do this, just practice
can't play without ||steady body||
lol
That’s the issue with it
Too bad
You need to know how to play without it
i mean i can play without it i'm just not as good
Anyway you can do ||p5||, just beat almost all bosses on ||ascended|| 
That's how i beat it
i got on ||winged nosk|| first try and thats my best
Not bad, keep practice
Thats a great charm for faster hits tho
But it feels like entirely new gameplay
I dont use it but yeah its not bad if you know how to use it
So ||xero|| have you? 
Where is the bank lady at Queen's Station?
Find her somewhere in ||city of tears||
And make sure you have the ||key||
Emmm not sure I understand
I deposited some money
and now I want to take them out
but I can't find her lol
She ran away, lol. You need to find her now
SHE DID WHAT
Give into your hate
Don't trust alone ladies in empty rooms (except for ||Hornet||, she's my beloved)
||I haven't played Iselda||
||she’s the one who sells you wayward compass||
Ooooohhhh

She's also, uhm, ||voluminous||
some tips for p2ab?
please use spoiler tags, even for abbreviations
Do the bosses in ||HoG with no charms||
That's a good build. Only thing I have different in my runs is ||NMG|| instead of ||Dream wielder||. ||Grubsong|| is also good. You can't use ||dream wielder|| on the difficult bosses. It's also fairly rare to be able to use it after defeating the boss. It can help a little vs ||uumuu||.
personally? ||unbreakable strength/quick slash + quick focus/shape of unn||
note: not a speedrun build, clearly, it's a hybrid damage and survival build
(as an extra note, the survivability part allows me to play more agressive without caring about my health *as* much)
Yeah, ||quick focus|| often let me get two ||heals|| instead of one. Made ||healing|| safer too. For my first run I wasn't good at using ||spells|| (still not great tbh) so I used ||quick focus||. Surprisingly underrated, but it encouraged bad habits too.
if you got any, you'll get out of those bad habits if you ever care enough to go back for ||charm bindings|| and ||radiant||
strategies for ||steel soul broken vessel? assuming just fragile heart shaman stone spamming shade soul||
...assuming full gear knowledge, ||defender's crest is very valuable for allowing healing without the balloons being able to touch you||. i also see you managed to target ||shade soul without dive, which is certainly a decision. otherwise i would have recommended ddark spam for some attacks too (specifically the hp triggered cascade)||.
||id rather use spore shroom for the healing but i only have 5 notches, and yeah i dont like the boss thats required to get dive so im stalling||
||its worth noting that i beat radiant broken vessel so i do know what im doing im just being careful||
back at ||winged nosk||
hmm ... unless you're talking about obtaining it, ||spore shroom > defender's crest is interesting, because spore shroom will only protect you after the heal rather than during||
obtaining ||defenders crest is required for ancient basin no? unless deepnest tram 😭 idk maybe defenders crest is better, i just used spore on my first playthrough since i accidentally got stuck in deepnest and needed to get out of there which led me to basin pre dung defender||
it is not, particularly now that you have ||crystal heart||
access points to that entire chunk of the map: ||tram pass (lower tram), dung defender, ~isma's grove/broken elevator (cdash cancel), resting grounds crypts (dive), blue lake (crystal heart on the wall by gruz mother)||
||someone knows if it's possible to move a jellyfish enought to pogo from it and get the fog canyon map? made an skip so i don't have either double jump nor sade cloth||
speaking of, did you just not have ||lantern|| when you grabbed ||crystal heart||? otherwise i'd have grabbed ||dream nail|| while over there
ah i was not aware that areas like ||blue lake and resting grounds go there||
or maybe i just forgot
i did have ||lantern||
i think it might require a ||large jellyfish||, but i did it once
||blue lake/resting grounds -> elevator into right city -> drop down the elevator into basin||
oh right
ill see then
||You can pogo the bigger jellyfish on the right and dash to the side of the platform||
(||basin, right city, kingdom's edge, and blue lake|| all have the same item requirements, as traversal between them only requires ||claw||)
i suppose i just not dont know enough about the game
i forgot alot from my first playthrough already so i decided to replay on ||steel soul||
With skips or?
Oh wait i misunderstood
nah, i'm ignoring that one ||shade|| skip to bypass ||claw|| -> the ability to softlock yourself
||i tried the first time with the big jello, but the pogo only boosted me like 2 mm, so it's probably skill issue and i should get the double jump before exploring fog||
i'm going to go try and get a clip of doing it in case that helps
how many time does ||grimm stugger||
Stugger?
@little reef two variants shown off
(not trimming from the automatic last 30s record i used because i don't feel like it)
||is there any other way to fight absolute radiance without needing to get to the end of hollownest pantheon||
Nope
There's no other way unfortunately
besides ofc ||hall of gods if you've seen ABSRAD in Pantheon of Hallownest once||
thanks, i guess i have ||skill issue and terrible luck with the jellyfish placements||
||im glad i spent 10 seconds thinking about what absrad meant before I asked💀 (i woulda looked mad stupid)||
honestly
I don't blame you
Some of the words HK community uses is really confusing
Like ||R5AB|| as an example for someone who's new here
Yea idk what that is
wait for them to be high rather than low for one
ive prolly seen it, just dont know abbreviation
It means ||Hitless All binding Pantheon of Hallownest|| btw-
And yes someone actually did this challenge-
No Silk song does A LOT of things to people
Ive just recently got the game like a week ago so im still learning a lot about the game
Especially silk song, it looks cool but idk lore
If that's the case then good luck and Have fun!
guys uh I downloaded a mod and now I dont have charms. but really theres no charm space when I go bench-I and it opens map
Never been insanely into lore anyways, mostly play for the fun of the game, also heavy on the bosses
I love almost all bosses in any game
I don't know how to help with that but
#1057825333841240104 could help
||However i do appreciate the help, i will continue trying to somehow work my way up to absrad||
how open this
...okay, i was going around collecting all the trinkets around the map, using a save completion analyzer, but ran into this bit here which i don't understand (for both shown)
tried:
- double checking the file i'm using
- reloading the save file
looking it up, they're both ||bluggsac eggs|| so I may have done something with them before like ||leave them with the idea of getting max eggs|| ... is it possible to lose access to those if you don't pick them up initially?
||come from below||
||I think its possible for the egg to fall into the water there, in which case you might just be screwed||
that wouldn't explain ||crystal peak entrance egg|| being also gone...
unless it's below, which i'll go check
its just a guess
it may be time to restart my itemless file again in the name of completionism
yeah no, it's still gone, isn't below it, and it would be absolutely insane if it managed to reach the room transition
No idea then
||I dont see much reason to want that though, unless you are specifically doing an all pickups run or something. Hardly anybody cares about the analyzer's "true" precentages||
but i can't have collected all the things without them 
guys if i complete the delicate flower mission then can i obtain again the flower?
First
Spoiler tag that
But yes you are still able to
However the ||flower will spawn/grow at the location you bring it to||
.
ok thanks
👍
sorry will do that in the next message
Guys please spoiler tag
oh yeah
spoiler this
oh
the ||hunter|| gives %?
mb mb
Cuguli might be selling
||maybe a pantheon||

No
I heard about we can fight ||collosseum owner or idk||

GUYS I DID IT
WWW
Nope he doesn’t matter for ||completion percentage||
guys any tips when you're lost?
by lost I mean I don't know where to go to continue the story forward
can u ss?
ss?
Here all ingame images need to be spoiler tagged so you need to delete the images and you can resend them with spoiler tags
||Deepnest (in the village where they kidnap you)||
R u lost in ||beasts den|| rn?
HAVE YOU EVER GO TO ||CRYTAL PEAKS?||
tags
||the one with the lady bug signing?||
There’s a ||stag|| in ||distant village|| if u need a quick way out
no???
oh wait wrong person
i thought
like did u have ||crystal dash||
nvm
Yes, I know, but I don't know where to go to continue the story forward
get the other ones
yes
beat the game
which ones?
the other ||dreamers||
have you go to ||ancient basin?||
||big white mask||
ask for maps so no uncspoiler
where's that
<@&283547423706447872>
I also have encountered a ||black fog/line, and a trembling ground, and don't know what to do with them||
I don't have that yet
yea ya
you can go through there after u go there
continue exploring and playing the game, youll find the solutions eventually
thats ok Imma screenshot there
he asked the black ||lines||
here sr didnt saw ur message
np
oh sr
i went away from pc so didn't see ur messages
pretty sure they meant ||the barriers that require shade cloak||
oh u dont have ||royal waterways||
uncspoilers moment
😭
lit told you this
uh bro
what
ur in the literally most disturbing and near-end place
first
check the ||forgotten crossroads||
ok gotcha
theres lots of ways that u didnt visit
what are you even looking for
Emmmm, progressing the game?
the blank forgotten crossroads places
this is my first time playing it
from your point there isnt really a linear progression just explore
yk?
if you zoom in on a specific section
means you know
or just tab
and btw I think I find the 112
most unclosed sections I have encountered so far need ||abilities i dont have. For example, higher jump, etc.||
you have most of the abilities you need
you can explore mich more
and i am aware you are missing one
might wanna spoiltag that
but if theres an area you cant explore, go elsewhere and come back later
u will get ||double jump|| soon dont worry
if you want to know where to go
main three
you should be able to get these
w/o the sbility
hey there is this ||bug who repairs signs and i wonder is he requared for hunter mark? or did i just maked him up and he dosen't exist ||
He is not
just explore ||crossroads for now imo, early abilities unlock alot in there||
he does exist
but its not required
i think
do you want it?
its quite rare
and useless
he i wonder how he spawns
it was just for the lore
te u watched a lore video and idk if it was a meme a mod or what
||he spawns under the dirtmouth well||
no meme or mod
just
||menderbug||
||but its prob like 1 % chance or what?||
i think it was for the lore that there was somone repairing signs
i hope
bro bugged
It's 2%
so 1/50
if you want it just ||ddark down the well||
and ||dream wielder on tiktiks||
on the left or right
what😭
omg
he is the one that walks on the walls
I didnt kill the Brooding Mawlek
OH
and thats wh its 11
||oh and btw do you maybe know can i kill those dudes when the crossroads are infected?||
maybe it was ||actually the massiv moss charger||
which ones
and tags
what are we hunting?
you can just say the name
but there should be areas
thats option too
||Gruzzers are quite rare once the Forgotten Crossroads become Infected, making it harder to complete the Hunter's Journal if not enough of them have been killed before. However, two Gruzzers can still be found at the entrance of the cave that leads to the Brooding Mawlek, even after the Infection spreads||
thats not…||a gruzzer||
||2 gruzzers and 2 of those ||
||from the crossroads stag, go out, up and right, there should be two of the sword and shield types||
howd you memorise ts
journal randomizer be like
i bet i could tell the location of every enemy in the game now that i think about it
though i guess that's not that hard, ||infected crossroads|| is only thing making it tricky
hmm
ggssss
||shroomal ogre||
drop the map
nice
||two spawn when you get the charm notch, one will be there afterwards||
now go do ||p5 all bindings||
i need the map
NO-
actually Imma try
did you meet ||zote or smth||
no
||i did up to p3 and decided i'm not built for all that haha||
no
what ||charms|| i should use to ||p1 to p3||
have you attmepted it yet
correct
I know
||shaman and other spell charms||
charm build please
inventory
this is what more creative minds than i can accomplish
BRO 
U CAN NONSPOILER THIS TRUST ME
i cant find my ghost i went there
||you can get it back from jiji if you need to||
why???
why not
||The map location is just in the center of the room you lost it at, you should look at where you died to see if you hear the music||
||you know the way to recover it in another way, right?||
i would like to keep my ||rancid eggs for myself thank you||
||my 112% save has 81 eggs, tasty||
||ye have simple key then go to that dude||
||tuk won't sell you more if you're that eggcelent||
but if i lost my ||ghost|| then i wouldnt have money to buy || the key cause ion have it||
im eggcelent egg keeper
then buy it beforehand
😭
||i don't think i've ever bought my ghost back actually||
can appreciate it being there though
||steel soul jinn moment||
||jiji|| does have unique dialogue for each area where it can be though which is cool
whos gonna tell him
any, i got every
top 10 fastest replies in 2025
ik of ||pale king parkour||
dont mind me, im doing something
im not touching it aswell
||btw i use strength 3 shaman stone 3 quick slash 3 dream wielder 1 steady body 1||
last two replacable
okay, ty
||lmk if you need any tips||
||is grimmschild that bad of a charm||
||people like to hate on it because it auto targets things you don't want damaged like jellies in fog canyon, it's fine otherwise||
not worth the notches in a real challenge, but not offensive or anything imo
If you have absolutely no use for anything else... it's technically a little bit of a damage buff. Its like a 5%ish buff if I had to guess
||is this build good for hornet 2nd phase||
if not what change
||compass|| isn't helping
ye tru
compass + swarm should oneshot her
Might take off ||compass and grimm|| and put on ||mark of pride||
thats the ||charm to stay still white hitting||
||hornet|| moves a lot so good to get the range in
Do you use ||spells||?
||so do i remove long nail too||
||i suggest learning to use shaman stone, it's arguably the charm in the game||
||not much||
bacon egg and cheese
I don't think you need to overthink it
||i suggest learning to use shaman stone, it's arguably the charm in the game*||
no
its ||wayward||
Considering we're in a help channel this might not be the best place to troll
||at oro & mato fight what charms are the most usefull?||
||i'm talking if we don't want to make everything trivial of course||
Then I would go ||Quick slash, mark of pride, grubsong, long nail, soul catcher||
||first i will use this build so i can also get to know the way,then if i cant win ill switch||
but genuinely its a good comfort charm even if i never use it
yeah youre right its clearly ||heavy blow||
I love how original every joke is
i know
Tbh... most ||charms|| are underrated. There's like 6ish stinkers and the rest are genuinely fine
agreed
You pretty much can't go wrong
charms doesnt need to be tagged
||one of the hardest fights for me to learn personally, charms won't help as much as learning when you can do damage, use shaman stone and spam d dark whenever you're not sure||
Don't care 😭
okay
i can give more specific tips for each attack if you want
if in doubt
down cast
ye if ||d dark|| wasn't what it was in this game, everything would be a lot different
this is how i got through ||p5||
||oro mato|| you kinda want to just make sure you're not surrounded. You can get out of the way with a ||down spell into dash||. Focus on one at a time, jump if you see the other charging an attack
dw i know how to dodge those attacks, just struggling with both
That's like my main advice I think
||ok i died but i defo beat her more than halfway||
okay, i will try that
Yeah to add to that, ||they will only both attack at the same time if you are in between them||
||the brothers were my third last fight to get hitless, don't feel bad if it gives trouble||
||ddark moment||
No need to bring yourself into a dangerous situation if it's not needed
and who were the other 2
😭
||absrad, markoth||
ahahahahaha
Also it's OK to get hit a few times as long as you don't trap yourself
Wow that took ages to send
Thanks wifi
||there are easier fights to radiant than oro and moto, just was some kind of a mental block for me, just couldn't get it down||
Happens
i just spammed
a certain button
I took ages on ||oblobbles||
multiple times
Frankly I think I'm more confident with ||radabsrad than rad oblobbles|| lmao
hk is much like souls games, people claim ||orphan|| is one of the hardest but i find that fight easy compared to some others that other people might find hard
replayed bb for the first time in like 4 years and first timed that fight lol
anyway let's not flood this channel with non-help chat
yeah
catch me at ||path of pain||
nothing humbles so fast as to doing this with months of no play
beat her in 20 seconds thats crazy
well done
What a vibe
anyway i advanced wayy to much today
||i got like 24 charms , got one bonus health, one bonus soul,beat nosk grimm hornet and some more dream bosses, got the up ability and upgraded the other two ,||
and way more
hey how can i|| get Goam in the diary? ||
tommorow ||going to zone where kings mark unlocks||
those things
i forgo
||which way did you enter fungal wastes?||
?
||at the beginning of the game you can enter fungal two ways, the journal entry is near one of the entrances, don't wanna spoil too much||
is this first playthrough
…||DEFENDERS CREST???honestly i cant even say anything i had worse||
👍
||still hard to matter how many times i've done it
||
hey for the ||hunter mark do i need the the enemies from the hive and the arena?||
||yep||
good excuse to learn how to fight each enemy
iu this an unnesscarry spoiler
not enough cats in my opinion
oh nvm thought u put up a picture of like beating the final boss or smth
xD
crazy how good i got in this game despite being absolute ass in plaforming
||path of pain is as hard as it ever was after a couple months lol||
hey, got a quick question, i'm doing the ||hunters journal thing for my last 2 achievements and im missing 1 entry, it shows that ive got 145/156 entries but if i look a through the journal every entry is filled and i double checked the wiki if i was missing an enemy but no. ||what do i do?
||double check with this https://hollowknight.fandom.com/wiki/Hunter's_Journal||
i did, went through every single one but still it shows that i dont have enough
i've encountered every enemy i need but not finished with them (it says encountered 145/146; completed 145/146). but i looked through them ALL and it doesn't show anything to be missing
||odds are you just missed one, have you gotten duranda, durandoo and aluba?||
yea
||and you've completed the game?||
i got like 100% on it rn
||have you gotten the thing in game which shows you your progress?||
yea, thats how i see the completion of the journal as well
||and none of the journal entries show that you're missing kills?||
yea. i'm so confused
||there's a couple which you need to interact with on the map without killing, remember finding those?||
i got every single one. t||he goam, the tendrils, the mossy Vagabonds, the garpede,|| everything
i had the wiki open when i was doing it and went through every single one in order to be sure but im confused why it doesnt show it
honestly feel like i should get the ones that dont count towards the achievement so that MAYBE then i get it
||i'd triple check if i was you, if you got all the interactable ones, there aren't any super hidden ones, chances are you just missed one checking the wiki||
i've checked it like 5 times already 
||and just to be sure none of them are lacking any numbers?||
not wasted, dw
i did all ||61 achievements|| in like 4h and then spent another 7 just to do the last 2... feels like a bit of a waste
i was bored
Ig that's a reason 
use the checklist website
i did. it still doesnt show it. i decided to just start over, maaybe ill get it now
???
start over?
yea, making a new save file and starting thr journal from 0
mannannan
i was one hit away form getitng ||hollow knight ||
he had to be 1hp
what charms should i use ?
what build you going for?
And what charms do you have
Take off ||thorns|| NOW
y?
it sucks
its only one slot
takes away from notches
better to havve something then nothing
Shit damage and you can get more hits with normal hits in I-frames
It's a decrease in damage
wut
litterally anything is better than that... except ||dream shield|| ofc
I worded that bad :3
soo just change the charm ?
Yes
yea
this is inv btw
||spelltwister|| if you can
i think got that
yea that's what i thought, i dont know the costs that well
nvm i'm dumb
is my inv good enough for fight?
-# How do you not have ||Wraiths||
nothing too bad, i think its alright
idk how to gte it
Explore somewhere foggy
||you can finish the fight if you learn it, but seeing how many charms you're missing, i'd advice exploring the game||
u mena the|| spell that shots up?||
Yes
i have explered like everything exept a bit because i wanted to see what was behind the ||egg||
idk what else i can explores
explre
seeing your ||spells|| and ||charms|| i would say you got a LOT to explore and collect if you want to shred ||HK||
you pretty much got what i would use when doing ||any%||
pobably locked door i forgot aboout
||you're nearing the end, and you haven't gotten most of possible upgrades, go back and look around!||
ok i will try a bit more
i think i can do it
i am sure he was low
there is a lot of places you can get ||charms ||from, ||buying, exploring||
||don't feel pressured to kill bosses only, most of the fun is finding the loot around the map||
i didnt buy any from||leg eater|| i just bought the ones that seemed nice
well for that you would litterally have to do everything and explore everywhere so i advise you to explore as much as you can.
ikik
but this one was being rly fun
i want to get him
||where you are at the story is the perfect time to scour the map||
please don't lmao
but isnt it better to have it then dnt havenothing ?
its sucks that i doesnt suck any aura off the enemies
||leg eater|| has good ||charms|| if you want to get ||lots of health and damage, but if you die you lose them so i would make them unbreakable but that also takes a lot of geo||
like what 3k ?
||you'd think, but the way thorns works it's actually mechnically worse for you||
i get what i mean
i would only use ||thorns|| if i was exploring, and even then it's useless
sometime i get stuck in place and take one more hit
then you want ||stalwards shell||
||thorns ||is actively harmful, please don't, psa to any player
i wont
better
prime exploration ||charm|| combo would be: ||stallwards shell, dashmaster, waywards compass (for new players), || doesnt use a lot of ||notches|| and you get around fast
also ||sprintmaster|| but that would mean an extra ||notch|| so that would be optional
would be my|| HK ||fight setup maybe|| (at max notches)||
||that charm u get fighting the 3 guys u are using is soo OP def my fav.
Dont u have any 1 slot charm to fill that in?||
I had a heart attck for a bit
There are a lot of bosses and stuff i want to fight and see
I thoght i needed to beat ||abs rad to beat the game||
||nailmasters glory?||
its for ||nail arts|| and i dont use ||nail arts|| so i dont use the ||charm||
nah, ||nailmasters glory|| makes your ||nail arts|| faster
||unbreakable strenght|| is the one that makes the|| nail ||stronger
oh that, thats the ||mark of pride||
i only use ||nail ||as my damaging method so this is my ||pure vessle|| setup
Wdym || pure vessel set up? A setup to kill a boss?|| I havent reched him yet. But i will
don't click on the spoiler tags until you've completed the game if you wanna spare yourself of spoilers
||the fight you just had isn't the end of the game, there's much more to find||
Cant resist it 😭
Ikik
I still have at leats 48 percent to do
I really don't like the fact you're using ||starwell shell|| for ||PV|| cause it doesn't do much
This is a metrovania game
Some places can't be reached unless you unlock a new ability
Also please delete that image cause it hasn't been spoilered
okay but i just started
there's nothing else to do in this area
ive explored all of it
Can I see your map? (make sure to spoiler tag it)
Trust me
can leave until i slay this
you hae lots to do
Go explore to the right
i did i explored everything
no maybe he just doesnt have ||quill||
mhm
i dont think its uncspoiler to be fair
so what do i do im stuck
||what is the best dream boss to get started on. aka most easiest im trying to get kingsoul|| and ive beaten ||all the dream warriors so dont||
||Lost Kin might be good since it just speeds up BV but you could also try doing Soul Tyrant since it’s also just a sped up Soul Master||
||okay so either lost kin or soul master. thanks||
help i just defeated ||pv|| on|| radiant|| but im unable to defeat ||zote|| on ||ascended||
||soul tyrant is the easiest dream boss imo||
nvm i just defeated
Nice, also tag the difficulties pls
Now do it ||radiant||
what specifically r u struggling on against ||gpz||?
i defeated him
he is just too random
I just made it to ||godhome|| for the first time and was wondering what the ||bindings do in pantheons||
||bindings make the pantheon harder|| ||for example the shell binding will make your extra aqquired mask shards not usable through the fight|| and you can guess what other ||bindings|| do from their name
||each binding gives a different debuff that lasts through that particular run that u r doing. shell binding decreases ur maximum hp to 4 (but this can be increased with charms like heart). charm binding unequips all ur charms. nail binding decreases nail damage. and soul binding caps ur max soul at 33 (equivalent to one cast of spell or one heal)||
is there any way to save the ||grubs|| he has eaten
nah, and anyways its actually fine if u know why its happening
is he saving them from ||infection|| or somethin
not exactly
then
||it is just a part of a grub's life cycle. they will metamorphose into grubberflies while they are inside grubfather||
Why would anyone willingly do this to themself 😭
||after a certain amount of bindings across the pantheons u can get a reward that helps in future pantheons. besides, its a fun challenge, bindings are quite fun imo. regular pantheons can get boring sometimes so its just a nice way to spice things up||
||do you know where I can find the collector, I only need a few more grubs for the last pale ore||
@slender pike or anyone else, rn im in ||City Of Tears|| anything I should buy from this guy?
I'm a pretty aggressive player
